The past week has given us a lot of new developments in the Matt Gaetz saga. But the biggest came on Monday of this week when Gaetz's former associate Joel Greenberg updated his plea from not guilty to guilty.
Mr. Greenberg has pled guilty, pursuant to a plea agreement. It has certain requirements and obligations on him. Um, and he attends to honor that. I think he's feeling a sense of acceptance and he definitely feels a sense of remorse. When somebody accepts responsibility for their actions, that's the first step, recognition, acceptance of what they've done. And that's the first store, um, that's the first step towards rehabilitation or in a rehabilitative process, that's the first step in redemption.
Greenberg of course, is the South Florida politician that had been indicted on 33 different counts, including human trafficking, but his new plea had him plead guilty to only six charges. So this reduction in the number of charges that he's willing to admit to committing is a strong indication that Greenberg has agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors who are likely dropping some of the lesser charges in exchange for his cooperation. On Monday news broke that the new deal includes Greenberg implicating quote, multiple men in criminal activities that Greenberg was also involved in, though the names of these men have not yet been released. And while it's easy to speculate that Matt Gaetz is one of them, I mean, after all Greenberg admitted in a confession letter to Roger Stone, that Gaetz had sex with an underage girl, we won't know for certain until charges are actually filed.
And that's another thing that we have to keep in mind here. At this point, Gaetz has not yet been charged. In fact, many had even speculated that Gaetz was merely mentioned in the investigation from the department of justice. And that could mean that he isn't even a target. However, evidence from the past week strongly refutes those claims because in addition to the change of plea from Greenberg, it was also revealed last week that investigators were attempting to convince both Greenberg and a woman who was a former Capitol Hill intern and ex girlfriend of Matt Gaetz, to flip on the congressmen. The fact that investigators are actively working to get information on Gaetz from those who knew him best is a very strong indication that the Congressman is a target in the DOJ investigation, but that's actually not even all that we learned this past week, either.
A report from the Daily Beast revealed that Gaetz allegedly attended drug fueled sex parties with a woman who was being paid by Greenberg for sexual favors though, at this point, it's unclear if this was one of the women who Gaetz was involved with, although witnesses say that the two were always very close to one another, when they saw them together. On top of that, they were also more Venmo receipts showing Gaetz and Greenberg paying all sorts of items that are certainly questionable at best and likely even illegal. Now, Gaetz has attempted to downplay this new report over the weekend by trying to claim that he never paid for any naughty favors as he called them. But he then went on to give an excuse that former federal prosecutor and legal analyst Glenn Kirchner said amounted to an emission. Gaetz said that the real criminals are the ones in Congress who take money from lobbyists, for earmarks and other legislation.
